Sony PCV-MXS10 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
What are the signs that the graphics card has gone bad?
- The monitor produces nothing
- The computer reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The driver has issues installing fully
